Committee Goal<br />
Action Plan<br />
Improve process of communication between faculty and Information Services on what<br />
software needs to be put in computer labs, so that it is done in a timely manner before<br />
spring semester ends.<br />
Communication is an ever on-going problem at <strong>Bakersfield</strong> College so we will continue<br />
trying to find a more effective method that will actually be used by faculty in a timelier<br />
manner than the current process.<br />
Timeline on-going<br />
Fine-tune the Technology Request form ("ISIT form") in APR and improve the process<br />
Committee Goal<br />
of how the form is distributed <strong>with</strong> the APR and data are entered by the departments.<br />
Action Plan<br />
The ISIT form was distributed <strong>with</strong> the APR form this year but it remains a separate<br />
Excel spreadsheet <strong>with</strong> drop-down menus. Those department chairs who did fill out the<br />
form last year indicated that the form was straightforward. This academic year, the<br />
APR was due to the deans by September 7th for them to check for completeness<br />
before forwarding them on to Institutional Research and Planning. The forms are due<br />
to IRP by September 21st. IS/MS might have data as soon as 9/21.<br />
Timeline This academic year<br />
Committee Goal<br />
Re-allocate computers to desktops as computers become available.<br />
Can we use a multi-tiered approach so that we can put newer machines on some office<br />
desktops instead of always re-allocating old computer lab computers to the desktops?<br />
We recognize that not all computer labs (or the Computer Commons) need the latest<br />
and greatest computers and that some "power users" on campus do need faster<br />
computers than other users. Still to be worked out is how we determine who those<br />
Action Plan<br />
power users are in a rational way that is agreeable to all. Software needs (i.e., what<br />
hardware the requested software requires) will be a prime consideration in the decision<br />
making along <strong>with</strong> network cabling and power needs but what other criteria should go<br />
into a multi-tiered allocation process needs to be worked out.<br />
Timeline<br />
on-going but criteria for multi-tiered allocation scheme to be worked out this academic<br />
year.
